Time"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The girls are currently on school holidays, so if it is a little quiet around these parts, you know we are off having fun. \u00c2\u00a0All three kids had a sleepover at my mum&#8217;s on Monday. \u00c2\u00a0It was my first child free 24 hours for 4 years. \u00c2\u00a0I almost didn&#8217;t know what to do with myself. \u00c2\u00a0Of course I have been trying to fend off a sinus infection, so I spent most of my time resting. \u00c2\u00a0I did a little bit of quilting on the picnic quilt, which I am now ready to quilt. \u00c2\u00a0Fingers crossed I can finish it before the end of the holidays so we can put it to good use.<\/p>\n<p>I had a lovely quiet car trip to pick up the children. \u00c2\u00a0A whole 2 1\/2 hours listening to music and of course I needed to break the trip with a stop at the Ballart Patchwork shop. \u00c2\u00a0It&#8217;s well worth a visit. \u00c2\u00a0There was so many beautiful fabrics, I had a hard time choosing. \u00c2\u00a0Although, I see that as a good dilemma.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1996\" style=\"width: 460px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a

first night away from us. \u00c2\u00a0They all love the outdoors and it makes me realise that our half acre block is not ideal, but property around our area is crazy expensive, especially if you want larger acreage. \u00c2\u00a0Scarlett is always trying to talk us into getting her a horse. \u00c2\u00a0Oh how I wish I could grant her that. \u00c2\u00a0I was horse crazy growing up, so I totally understand her desire.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1999\" style=\"width: 362px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
